ARIZONA - On December 19, 2024 marks the first day of “AmericaFest,” a far-right, white supremacist conference hosted by “TurningPoint USA.” TPUSA employs one of Arizona’s 11 “fake electors” and employed a Republican state Representative accused of signature fraud. Charlie Kirk, the organization’s leader, and right-wing podcaster, has called for violence against transgender Americans, attacked Dr. King and civil rights, and has said, “I want to make sure we all make a commitment that if this election doesn’t go our way, the next day we’d fight.”
Donald Trump is set to end the “AmericaFest” on Sunday, a conference that has been known for being a “Right-wing […] wild carnival of fun-filled fascism” and a display of “gaudy GOP extremism.”
“Donald Trump is bringing a clown car of extreme Republicans to Arizona this weekend, “ said Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano. “Rather than focusing on the issues that Arizonans care about most, like lowering costs, funding public schools, and protecting our water future, Donald Trump and TPSUA will be platforming white supremacy and hate. While Republicans spread division, Arizona Democrats are our last line of defense and will fight against hate and protect Arizonans rights.”
Here’s a short list of the extreme Republicans Speaking:
